MY NAME IS

Ok,ok,but this is my first time to write down in English. Finally I decided to write in English. I wrote down in Japanese for long time.

My name is Yuta Kobayasi. Living amd working in Japan and founder of Kobayasi Coffee（Plz call Koba）

Today, I talk you about my dream.

My dream is recognize diversity and good society though good coffee

When I was a student, I lived in Tokyo and studied law for four years.（ I did not become a police officer）I joined volunteer center at a freshman. I went to Philippines to volunteer with volunteer center’s members.

I was shocked When I saw the sight.　It ’s a scene I ’ve seen on TV. Sorry, I didn’t find picture but I remember. I understand the society is unfair. I understand I am blessed. As a result I visited the Philippines twice.

This experience had an impact on my life. I was interested in foreign culture and local people. But I still liked cafe au lait at this time. I started to love coffee after having espresso in Fuglen Tokyo.　Fuglen Tokyo 　This espresso was not bitter. It’s like a fruits! I started visiting once a week and bought coffee mill, dripper also coffee goods. It ’s the moment I fall in love coffee.

I thought about how to accomplish my mission. Coffee is have all over the world. Skin color doesn’t matter. Everyone has coffee. I love the time to have coffee together.

I don’t just want to open a coffee shop.　I don’t just want to serve good coffee.

I want to create a good society with good coffee.

My mission will be difficult but I believe I can.

This is me.

This is Koba.

Thank you for watching.　

From Japan, with love.
